Difference between American and British Versions of Harry Potter Series

posted by tivier

Throughout the Harry Potter books, there are some variations between the Bloomsbury (British) and Scholastic (American) editions. Below the first section on "Philosopher's vs. Sorcerer's" is a section on other different terminologies used.

Philosopher's vs. Sorcerer's

When Scholastic was publishing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in America, they decided to rename the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. They claimed that the American and British uses of the word philosopher were a bit different, so therefore sorcerer was a zaidi appropriate word. Any true Harry Potter fan, American...

MEANINGS OF HARRY POTTER CHARACTER NAMES

posted by Thecharliejay

HOGWARTS STAFF
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore: His first name is from the Latin word alba, "white." His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for "bumblebee." In colour symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster's name suggests honour and a hard-working nature ("busy as a bee").
Professor Binns: A bin is a large storage container. A dustbin is British English for a garbage can. This boring professor could be described as a ghostly storage for information that many Hogwarts students view as rubbish.
Headmaster Armando Dippet: Armando is from the name Armand,...

Barty Crouch Jr. - evil, unloved au just misunderstood?

posted by bendaimmortal

This makala is reviewing his devotion as a Death Eater, his possible part in the Longbottom torture, his childhood, his father's upendo for him - and some other things - always basing on what we can read from the Goblet of moto book. Weighting on my own interpretation, of course.

I know the vast majority of people seem to have taken a liking of the first impression the book gives on the father-son relationship, especially kwa Junior's own words, so I respect that view - however those are only his beliefs and not necessarely the truth and I personally like to dig deeper into the possibilities....

The owl Errol and cruelty to wanyama

posted by bendaimmortal

The Weasley family has an owl named Errol and it's very old; it's moulting, and so exhausted that it can't even stand up after a flight - In fact it often downright loses consciousness after both long and short flights. If it even gets to where it's sent, because its eye vision has gotten so poor that it hits objects as it flies, which also can make it lose consciousness and could even kill it. Still the Weasley's keep using it for delievering their mail. In addition, their youngest son shows no compassion to it, calling it a "bloody bird", "menace" and "pathetic". And the Weasley parents bought...

How reliable chanzo the Harry Potter Wiki is?

posted by bendaimmortal

I don't consider the Harry Potter Wiki as reliable. Because according to its canon policy: if Rowling hasn't specifically denied something about a film in the vitabu au in other words, whatever the films say is to be first and foremost promoted in the makala as a canon fact instead of the books' facts.

In my logic it should be the other way around. That the books' canon should be promoted first and foremost - exactly becasuse the vitabu are the tier 1 canon and the sinema only the tier 2 au 3 even - and because we can not be sure what about the films are from Rowling's hints and what are just...

Another Way of Interpreting a Moment in The Forest Again

posted by Pensieve_Seeker

Harry is in the forbidden forest, standing in front of Voldemort, about to give up his life. The book states "...and Harry thought inexplicably of Ginny, and her blazing look, and the feel of her lips on his--".

Now, a basic kusoma of this moment and people would think Harry's last thoughts were of kissing Ginny. Those who ship Harry with someone other than Ginny, will have his last thoughts be of that girl. For example, Harry and Hermione shippers, via the use of screen nyara from the movies, will have Harry's last thoughts be of her.

However, what if there was zaidi to this moment than meets...

"HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - Part II" (2011) Review

When I had first learned that Warner Brothers Studio and the producers of the HARRY POTTER franchise planned to divide the series' last novel into two movies, I had harbored strong doubts against this plan. Then I saw "HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART I" and my doubts were erased. I thought for sure that they would be able to pull this off. And after watching the last movie in the movie . . . I have changed my mind again.

Why Harry Potter will never be Remade

posted by Persephone713

Okay, I seriously wasn't going to go here but I feel the need to express my opinion a little further. So I have heard some of wewe say " The Harry Potter series will be re-made to keep up with time, au keep the legend alive". That is fine that wewe have that opinion, but I only have one au two questions. wewe don't think the movie series will live on as a classic. Its the juu earning movie series in the world, not counting inflation. It has the best British cast in the world. Besides I think Hollywood avoids remakes if they can unless they are trying to make quick money. And if they do remake...

Marnie Piper & Hermione Granger: 2 Young Witches

posted by deedragongirl

MARNIE!

Hi guys, I'm a big shabiki of Harry Potter and I remember watching Halloweentown. So, I'm going to be uandishi the similarities between Hermione and another young witch, Marnie Piper.

Marnie Piper

I first saw Halloweentown back in 2001 before Harry Potter hit the cinema theatres! Okay, I was very happy that Marnie is her own character and she is not the typical Mary Sue character.

Hermione Granger

Okay, I watched all of the Harry Potter series, and I have that Hermione is actually very much like Marnie, in terms of personality except that she zaidi of a book-worm. To whom I look up to, not to forget that their names rhyme!
If Harry Potter and Halloweentown were to be set in the same universe, it would be great to make a film about the characters together!

Hermione au Marnie?

Who do wewe like? If wewe have anymore similarities between these 2 heroines, let me know!

HERMIONE!!

Movie Bella Vs Book Bella; What I Like About Both Of Them

posted by zanhar1

kwa now everyone probably knows I have a crazy thing for Bellatrix and think she's the most wonderful thing that has happened to the HP series. But there are some huge differences between book Bella and movie Bella. But gosh dammit, I upendo them both! Here's why.

Book Bellatrix

Book Bella for me is everything I look for in a villainess. She's ruthless, she's wild, and she's got no mercy and no qualms about her bad deeds.While movie Bellatrix does share this trait I feel as though she has her moments of guilt. I say this because I really don't know how else to interpret this;
